But Carney for the first time Thursday called it terrorism &#8212; while downplaying the fact that he was doing so. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is, I think, self evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack,&#8221; Carney said. &#8220;Our embassy was attacked violently and the result was four deaths of American officials.
